Yet Another Tax

For those of you who have not heard, the Republicans have proposed to start taxing your health care benefits.  Yes - I said the Republicans.  The Republicans are supposed to be the party that wants to reduce taxes; except for our health care.  For some reason, that completely eludes me, the Republicans have decided that taxing our health care will make health care more fair.  From where I sit, this is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard.  It's bad enough the Democrats are planning to raise taxes on just about everything else.  Why in the world are the Republicans advocating taxing our health care benefits?  Can someone explain this to me please?

I think this is one of the key reasons why the Republicans lost the presidential election.  If you recall, talk of taxing our health benefits surfaced a couple of months before the election.  And, this is right around the time that the Republican candidate began losing ground against the Democratic candidate.  Republicans are supposed to be the party of fiscal responsibility; at least they were before the Bush-Delay days.  I believe it is policies like taxing health care benefits that drove all the moderates and independents away from the Republican party.  And, if they do not wake up soon, those folks are going to stay away from the Republican party. 

The bottom line is that unless the public starts to let their government representatives know how they feel about having their health care taxed, your health care benefits are going to be taxed.  And, we will have the Republicans to thank!
